Ethicon Physiomesh Hernia Repair Complications

Surgical Mesh Used for Hernia Repair Withdrawn from the Market Due to High Revision Surgery Rates

Ethicon Physiomesh, a hernia mesh product, has been found to cause adverse outcomes in a significant number of patients. Two large studies released in 2016 showed that Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh, a product of Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon division, results in high hernia recurrence rates, dangerous hernia mesh complications, and the need for revision surgery. Ethicon has withdrawn the product from markets worldwide and the company is now facing a number of pending hernia mesh injury lawsuits.

Physiomesh hernia patch side effects include abdominal infections, hernia recurrence, permanent organ damage, and other serious complications. Critics say the product, which was intended to be compatible with abdominal wall tissues, was not adequately tested for safety. Physiomesh has the potential of adhering to the internal organs, resulting in severe internal infection. In May of 2016, Ethicon released an Urgent Field Safety Notice, warning surgeons to stop using its hernia mesh products because of the number of grave Physiomesh complications that have been documented.

Individuals and family members of individuals having suffered from Physiomesh injuries may be eligible for compensation by filing a hernia mesh injury lawsuit against Ethicon. Physiomesh lawsuits endeavor to hold Johnson & Johnson accountable for marketing a defective medical device that put American consumers at risk.

When Physiomesh outcomes became public knowledge in 2016, Ethicon responded by issuing an Urgent Field Safety Notice warning surgeons to halt the use of its hernia mesh patch products. At the same time, the company issued a Global Market Withdrawal, a voluntary method of removing Physiomesh from markets around the world. In a statement, Ethicon announced the product would not return to the market due to the high rate of Physiomesh injuries and complications. Read full information on the Ethicon hernia mesh recall.
